The Teleology documentary 'Future Ruins' (Fothraigh le Teacht) was a product of EASA Ireland's assembly in 2008. This documentary examines how Irish architecture failed to adapt successfuly to the economic boom that happened in Ireland and what lessons can be learnt from it.

EASA (European Architecture Students Assembly) is an annual assembly of 400 architecture students which takes place over a two week period every August. It was founded in 1981 with the aim of encouraging cooperation between students from over 40 European countries through the media of architectural workshops, lectures, informal debates and exhibitions. In 2008 EASA was hosted by Ireland in Dublin and Letterfrack, a small village on the western coast. The theme for the 2008 assembly was 'Adaptation'.
